You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties or a challenging life transition. At times you may feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to change, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore what may be happening beneath the surface. As an integrative counsellor, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic and solution-focused approaches. I may also use trauma-informed methods such as IEMT and Brainspotting to help process difficult experiences.

In life we can often encounter difficult times that might feel unbearable; even a real sense of struggle in getting through them. The loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an illness, a traumatic experience, a struggle in our own sense of identity and self-esteem, plus many more life changing experiences. These are all changes that can deeply impact our lives, and are reasons for which deciding to seek counselling support is a very courageous choice to make. Often the process in seeking a counsellor can be a really overwhelming experience, as talking about our own feelings and emotions can be distressing and painful.

As an accredited individuals, couples and trauma psychotherapist, my integrative approach is rooted in curiosity: seeking to understand what may be getting in the way of what you most want for yourself. I weave innovative contemporary approaches into how I work, including IFS, SE, NARM, Somatic EMDR & RLT. I work inclusively with all people in the exploration of personal and professional issues, relationships, low self-esteem, identity, diversity, addiction, compulsive behaviours, life transitions and trauma. While trauma is a reality for many people who seek therapy, experience has shown me it doesn't have to be a life sentence.

Something specific may have been weighing on you. Or maybe it’s harder to name, a lifelong sense that the world fits everyone else more comfortably than it fits you. Either way, you don’t need to have it figured out before we talk. I work with neurodivergent adults, as well as parents of neurodivergent children, and those who’ve long sensed something doesn’t quite fit, but haven’t found a diagnosis or label that fits. I also work with adults facing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, perfectionism, low self-confidence, and burnout, often alongside or underneath the neurodivergent experience.

I work with people experiencing grief, endings, and change. Losing someone you love or the end of a relationship can feel unbearable, as if life will never be the same. You may feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in sadness. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where your feelings can be expressed and understood. Grief doesn’t follow rules or timelines, but as emotions are processed, many people find the weight gradually eases and they begin to reconnect with life in new ways.

Hi, I'm Elle. I'm an experienced therapist, who specialises in working with adults in their 20's and 30's who are feeling stuck. I originally trained as an actor, which means that sometimes, my therapy approach can lean towards being more creative than others, but any suggestions from me in the therapy room are only ever invitations and we would always work at a pace that worked for you. Having said this, I do see my role as a therapist as an interactive one, meaning that rarely in our sessions would we sit in prolonged silence, if you weren’t sure what to say.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialise in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.

Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.

What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialise in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialised modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.

Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specialising in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
